Max in a pre game interview confirmed we won’t be wearing the indigenous jumper due to a clash. We’ll wear it next week in.... cairns?

I’m worried about English. Gawn will have to play mostly back

dont think so which sucks we will wear it against the bears in the Alice - sorry I mean QLD

The tough part will be mentally being in the zone for this game. in less than a week we've gone from full crowds and zero masks to full lockdown, the game will not be on at all, a dogs player might have covid, a dees player might have covid etc. very hard to focus. even some of us fans have lost some interest so you can imagine if the players are thinking they might be away from their young families for months after this game The coaches have a big role to play getting the boys focused

Not sure I agree. Their fwd is a lot better than ours. Midfield they might be slightly ahead aside from ruck. We have the Much better defence. So I’d shade it to them

Not predicting many upsets this week. giants might be a chance. Carlton might surprise the swans

Not worried about the lack of atmosphere Docklands never has a scrap of atmosphere at the best of times the return clash at the G should be a beauty. Hopefully 60K turn out

Now we can start hoping for a positive result.... tonight!

Not sure it is MFCSS this time, they are rightly favourites. If both teams plays as they have recently the Dogs will win

Our pressure and intensity has dropped off in the past 4 games. I reckon the dogs will blow us away in the first Q and be up by 5-6 goals by Q time. We'll fight back a bit but still lose I hope I am wrong and we bring back our full ground pressure

Reasonable decisions made Salem in for Jetta makes us so much better. No offence Jetts id wager we won’t be as exposed at docklands with a lack of fwd pressure but we shall see

The winning team should get vaccinated while singing the song!

I agree. The game if it goes ahead will be more like an experiment or a circus.

Has Marty Hore been seen at BBQs Galore? that is the first symptom of covid

Could they not have spared 700 vaccines and get the players vaccinated FFS.

I think it's pretty clear the game will either go ahead or it won't I'll keep you all updated

So let me get this straight - we are 9-1 and have 2 friday night blockbusters for the first time in like ever and this happens? everything can go and get [censored]!!

Everyone is talking now like it us fully expected to have zero crowds this weekend. [censored] this [censored]

Do we have any idea why this game is postponed??

yep just a recommendation. Political (imo) in nature to distract the public as the vaccine roll out was so slow. It is safe for all comers and if you ask you can receive if illegible I am 41yo and hanging to get any covid vaccine

Just to clarify - the risk of a clot is not greater in under 50s it is just that the chances of being impacted by Covid is greater for over 50's which tips the risk/benefit scale over. The risk of a clot from the AZ vaccine for any age is less than that when taking the contraceptive pill

Only if you are over 50 or a health professional or have a medical condition. Also a lot of people mistakenly think they will get a clot if they get the AZ vaccine when the risk is lower than taking the contraceptive pill (why listen to doctors when you have facebook huh?) my mum is a nurse in a aged care hospital and only got her first vaccine 3 weeks ago. A shambles!

well days out from the game and it's looking more positive than yesterday at least. I was sure a lockdown would be called today. Any unlinked cases come in overnight and we'll be locked down But until that happens, I'm planning to go to the game. the capped capacity is not really an issue as I doubt we would get 20K people at the game given all the covid stuff going on. Fingers crossed, no unlinked cases. and a big Melbourne win!

Harsh but fair
